    Verdict

    Last year's Doncaster hero Eldar Eldarov is an absentee due to illness and Library had a tough race on very testing ground at Cork on Friday when SHAMIDA was withdrawn. Dermot Weld's filly was placed on ground with plenty of give on her reappearance and looked a stayer of some potential when landing a Leopardstown Group 3 over this trip last time. Joseph O'Brien has three entries with Okita Soushi earning top rating after landing the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot though he's never encountered soft ground
